I'm not sure where to post this as there's no subforum for the 1916 census, but I have a question.
On Ancestry.com (the free site; I don't have a subscription), it lists Mary and James Salaba as living in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. These are my great great grandparents and this is the first census I could find them in - they're very hard to track down! The thing is, when I looked at the census through Library and Archives Canada, I couldn't find any Salabas living in Moose Jaw. This is the information found on Ancestry:
Mary Salaba Spouse: James Salaba Birth: 1881 Residence: Moose Jaw, SK
James Salaba Spouse: Mary Salaba Birth: 1881 Residence: Moose Jaw, SK
Annie Salaba Mother: Mary Salaba Father: James Salaba Birth: 1903
Vaclav Salaba (name may also be James) Mother: Mary Salaba Father: James Salaba Birth: 1909 Residence: Moose Jaw, SK
Frank Salaba Mother: Mary Salaba Father: James Salaba Birth: 1911 Residence: Moose Jaw, SK
Additionally, the Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial says they lived near Punnichy in 1907 and later moved to Willow Bunch in early 1916. I can't find them on the 1911 census either, however there was a V. Salaba, born in 1884, listed on the Humboldt form. I couldn't read his homestead numbers, but I do know a Valcav Salaba homesteaded near Punnichy. The Saskatchewan death index has a Vachia Salaba deceased in 1913, but I don't know if I'm related to him or the other Valcav near Punnichy.
Does anyone have any tips or information, or should I just get a subscription to Ancestry? I know they also used to live near Willow Bunch. This Moose Jaw information is new to me. Thanks in advance!
